im not a big fan of leather. I think the cloth interior on the GTi goes togther best with the look and image of the car.

I agree. Leather sucks. Cold in the winter (until stupid heaters melt your ass), hot in the summer, not grippy, always stretches and costs a stack.

I think the ED30 seats are the best of both worlds, the 'look and smell of leather' and the practicality of cloth where it matters.

Here here :wink:

Well cared for any material/leather should last and although I like a bit of leather (as earlier) I can vouch for the cold rear in winter and the scorched thigh when wearing shorts in summer when first getting into the car. For some reason the heated seats seem better in the ED30 rather than the leather in my MKV GTTDI, perhaps they suit the cloth better :rolleyes:
